It's a 50/50 split this year which is unusual, considering that the neither
the typical midwest (Van Andel, Yost, Fort Wayne should they ever decide to
go for one) nor eastern sites have big ice.  Amherst is atypical in that
regard, all of Worcester, Albany, Manchester, and Providence are 200x85.
Whenever Denver hosts at the Pepsi, I'd guess all four regionals will be
small ice.
